Movie Info

Two guys find not in the hard way that sneaking into the wrong party can cause serious problems in this comedy. Jeremy Klein (Vince Vaughn) and John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) are a pair of longtime friends who be employed for a law firm, helping contentious couples mediate their divorces. Their job has specified them a cynical attitude about marriage, and as a hobby each weekend the two make a point of crashing weddings reception, where they load up on for free food and booze and seek their luck at seducing the bridesmaids. When William Cleary (Christopher Walken), the nation's Secretary of the Treasury and a possible candidate for the Presidency, announces his daughter is to wed, the nuptials are billed as the social event of the year, and Jeremy and John decide they must attend the reception. However, John makes the mistake of falling skull on top of heels for Claire (Rachel McAdams), the bride's sister, while Jeremy attracts the attentions of a woman he'd prefer not to be involved with, and soon their romantic peccadilloes get them in very burning water. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

One of the meanest funny things my cerebrum has had to suffer through.

Amusing, but nought special.

[img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] For a generic hollywood comedy, Wedding Crashers is actually a cut above nearly all films of it's kind. However mentioning that isn't really saying much. What makes it be employed is the chemistry of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. but if the appropriate casting of these talented comedians never took place I feel strongly that it would have been a totally un-funny, hugely misfired disaster. But there's recently something about watching those two mess about, travel untamed and argue with eachother on top of the little things in life that really makes you desire to laugh not in loud. But that alone can't really save the film in it's entirety. The script of this film is dissapointingly average and terribly overlong. It's not a very well structured light entertainment and sometimes feel's very improvised. It's easy to admire it, the whole amount in due to the fact it has plenty of comedic ambitions. There's a hugely victorious attempt at being a classy, high end, sophisticated light entertainment and it perfectly balances raunch with sweetness which is very hard to do, but it's plot is a mess and it's overlong and you leave feeling you haven't come to know the two great lead's characters. It doesn't help that it's pretty forgettable and entirely empty. But ultimately it's the fact that Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are in the movie itself that thankfully saves it, and it's quite enjoyable while it lasts. Which is a while. It's very unevenly crafted, but it's still reasonably and strangely pleasing fun.

*** not in of **** John (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy (Vince Vaughn) are a pair of odd male specimens. They be employed as divorce mediators in Washington, D.C. pretty greatly year-round; that is, until what they call "wedding season" kicks in. It is then they spool through the local papers therefore that they may pick and choose which weddings they intend to "crash". And not "crash" in the faculty that they cause a ruckus. Every while they presume the location of a distant relative or people friend (their roles are usually purposely bizarre) and every while it works. Their incentive is to pick up women at the weddings and then travel to bed with them on the same night. There's a great montage in the beginning of the film illustrating several weddings - only Asian, only Jewish, and even an Italian marriage - and what awaits the boys whenever they crash only of them. To them, this is the great life. One day while looking through the paper, Jeremy discovers that the daughter of the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury (Christopher Walken) is getting married, and that the marriage determination be only of abundant food, women, and perhaps even gifts for those who attend. They pose as "Uncle Ned's kids", a tie which creates an absolutely hysterical scene on its own beforehand into the reception. Afterwards, the pair meets the sleep of the people in attendance: daughters Claire (Rachel McAdams) and Gloria (Isla Fisher) and the Secretary's spouse (Jane Seymour). John takes a particular fondness to Claire and makes a victorious attempt to get to know her father, while Jeremy claims Gloria, whom he learns, is a virgin after having deflowered her on the nearby beach. The people takes such a fondness to the duo that they are invited to the family's seaside estate. We learn therefore greatly more about the people in this visit, which we presume is fast (only a few days at the most). For instance, the Secretary has a gay son (Keir O'Donnell) who is too a skilled artist, and there's too a potty-mouthed grandma (a tie which isn't quite as funny as it might desire to be). Claire, who John is falling skull on top of heels in love with, too happens to have a boyfriend named Sack Lodge (Bradley Cooper); a preppy douchebag as only Bradley Cooper can portray. But of course, Claire is torn between these two men in her life; the whole amount the while, John and Jeremy must seek to keep their true identities and intentions a secret from the family, which has shown them greatly hospitality. This is the good of movie where it starts not in raunchy and remains raunchy throughout but eventually dissolves into something of a sweet romance. "Wedding Crashers" is part buddy comedy, part frat comedy, and part romantic comedy/chick flick; but it's got something for everyone. The script is far from a great only and could have produced a God-awful movie had it not been leave in capable hands; but alas, it was. It works mostly on the strengths of its actors. Wilson and Vaughn are therefore greatly fun to watch on-screen together and they alone produce the good of classic funny chemistry that gets the film recognized in the first place. Christopher Walken too possesses clever funny timing as always; his performance is suggestive of the SNL days of Walken, when he was joyous, hilarious, and over-the-top without admitting therefore much. McAdams and Wilson too be employed as a cute although hardly memorable couple. And Will Ferrell has a genuinely awesome cameo as Chazz Reinhold, the man who inspired the "rules" of marriage crashing that the characters reference throughout the film as if his words are biblical. In my opinion, this is a hit-or-miss light entertainment that could recently as clearly humor you as it could offend you. For me it only did the first one; although I'm not easy to offend these days. Occasionally a joke determination fall flat on its face but nearly all of them travel along easy and the film is still very quotable and funny. It's a lot of fun watching these actors express such joy in their calling and this seems to be the good of movie where each one involved had as great a while making it as those who are watching the film did watching it. It's far from perfect - it's often times unnecessarily crude, it's predictable, and even slightly overlong (but not also much) - and I acknowledge that much, but it's a untamed ride from start to finish that slows along recently in while for us to empathize with the material. And I would totally watch a sequel.
